Hiring a copywriter
Copywriter recruitment done properly filters for writers whose words have moved a commercial number — conversions, replies, sales — not just read nicely. Cemoh vets copywriters on results and portfolio, then shortlists the best matches for your brief within 48 hours.
AI can now produce passable copy, which has split the Australian market in two: commodity writing has collapsed in value, while copywriters who bring research, strategy and a distinctive voice are more sought-after than ever. We only vet in the second kind.
Copy briefs run the full range: a fixed-fee project for a website or campaign, a monthly retainer covering emails and ads, or a part-time embedded writer who owns the brand's voice across everything it ships.

How Cemoh compares to a traditional creative recruitment agency

|---|---|---|
| Choice of talent | Australia's largest pool of vetted marketers — 779+ to choose from | Limited to whoever they can source for the brief |
| Speed | Curated shortlist within 48 hours | Weeks of searching, advertising and screening |
| Ways to engage | Freelance, part-time or permanent — switch as needs change | Usually permanent placements only |
| Who does the vetting | Senior marketers — we vet on craft, not keywords | Generalist recruiters screening résumés |

| Commitment | No lock-in — scale up or down whenever you need | Large upfront placement fee for a fixed, permanent hire |
Frequently asked questions about copywriter recruitment
Answers to common questions about hiring copywriters through Cemoh.
Do I need a conversion copywriter or a brand copywriter?
Conversion copywriters optimise specific moments — landing pages, ads, emails — and measure success in percentages. Brand copywriters build the voice that makes everything sound like you. Plenty of briefs need some of each, so we'll often shortlist both profiles and let the work samples make the choice obvious.
Hasn't AI replaced the need to hire a copywriter?
It's replaced the need for filler. What it hasn't replaced is the research, positioning judgement and ear for an audience that makes copy persuasive rather than plausible — and because every competitor has the same AI tools, distinctive writing is now the differentiator. The copywriters we vet use AI for drafts and speed, and earn their fee on everything it can't do.
Can I hire a copywriter for a single project?
Absolutely — single projects like a website rewrite, a campaign or a pitch deck are the most common copy engagements we arrange. You'll get a fixed scope and fee agreed up front, and if the relationship works, most clients keep their writer on call for whatever ships next.
How much does it cost to hire a copywriter?
Freelance copywriters on Cemoh typically charge between $399 and $1,110 a day, averaging around $673 — see our Copywriter rate guide for the live figures. For permanent placements, our recruitment fee generally starts at around 15% of the candidate's first-year salary.
